Source: NBC/Reuters
Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has agreed to pay as much as $35 million to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused two of the disgraced financier’s advisers of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young women and teenage girls, according to a court filing on Thursday.
The deal, if approved by a judge, would bring an end to a 2024 lawsuit filed against Epstein‘s former personal lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who are co-executors of Epstein‘s estate.
Epstein‘s estate previously set up a restitution fund that paid out $121 million to victims. The estate also paid out $49 million in additional settlements to victims.
Neither Indyke nor Kahn “made any admission or concession of misconduct” as part of the settlement made public on Thursday, their lawyer Daniel H. Weiner said in an emailed statement.
